    Its all about money at the end of the day. For instance, the uni I attended is shutting down its entomology programme while continuing to pump large amounts of money into cell bio.

      My university really liked to tout its Carnegie 1 classification to bring in donor money, then instead of using that money to fund the research needed to maintain it they’d use it to pay off debts for athletics.
